03:16 PM ET 02.07 | The New York Jets are headed into the offseason more than $20 million over the 2013 cap, but they won't be over the cap for long. Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that when the Jets cut linebackers Bart Scott and Calvin Pace and tackle Jason Smith in the near future, the three moves will save the Jets $27.7 million in cap space. None of the moves would come as a surprise as each of the three players are due large payouts in 2013. Smith would give the Jets a $12 million cap hit in 2013, an absolutely massive number for a backup lineman. The Jets traded Wayne Hunter for Smith in late August, hoping he would solidify their offensive line but he failed to crack the starting lineup.

Then they could save about 35 with 4 and get rid of the real one who needs to go (Ryan).
